It's not like it's actually rude in any sense in context, it was just appalling luck that the relevant squares were removed in that order. Unless you believe that someone may have set it up to do just that, in which case it was a joke that had to be pulled back for television, not one created purely for an outtake. It's worth nothing that, as the set is designed, the large screen wasn't used in studio, even in the TVS days it wasn't really good enough for broadcast, so post production would have been needed regardless.You think Nick Owen would behave like that during an audition? No wonder he didn't get the job!
While Christmas Tape specific material does exist, this wasn't made up specifically for it. There is a rather bizarre snippet of bad Catchphrase play from an early series in one, hosted by Nick Owen, and to this day I can't work out if it was a party skit (the player is clearly a high up at TVS rather than a real contestant), or indeed, part of Nick's audition to host the show.
After your sensible observation about the Snake Charmer animation, I'm very disappointed in the second part of your post.
It would be interesting to know who the contestant is though. Same as on the famous Bullseye one, who were Norfolk and Good really?
